Field Name	Description
Logging Level	Logging Level identifies the level of logging to write to the log file for the adapter. Logging options include: ERROR writes only error message to the log. WARN writes error messages and warning messages to the log. INFO writes error, warning, and informational messages to the log. DEBUG writes all messages to the log including debugging messages. Use this logging level when instructed to turn it on by IBM® Support.
Maximum Sessions	Maximum Sessions identifies the maximum number of sessions that the adapter allows. Default=20.
Session Timeout	Session Timeout identifies the amount of time allowed, in minutes, between TCP packets before a session is terminated. Default=3 minutes.
HTTP Ping Response	HTTP Ping Response identifies the response to send when an HTTP GET is received on the listen port. Provide this value To perform a health check response to a third-party IP load balancer, such as Big IP. If you provide a value in this field, the value is displayed in a browser window. You can provide HTML syntax and text values in this field. To test the response, ping the URL that you define in the HTTP Ping URI field and port of the engine. For example if you configure an adapter on port 13640 and you want to get an HTTP 1.0 response, send a ping to http://ProxyServerURL:13640/<HTTP Ping URI>. The value you supplied in the HTTP Ping Response field is returned. If you provide a value in this field, the value is displayed in a browser window. You can provide HTML syntax and text values.
HTTP Ping URI	HTTP Ping URI identifies the URI to monitor for incoming requests from an inbound node. If Secure Proxy receives a request for this URI, it returns the ping response, provided in the HTTP Ping Response field.
Outbound Port Range	Outbound Port Range identifies the range of ports to use for the adapter. Valid values include a list of ports that are allowed with each value separated by a comma such as 1234, 2340, 16570 or a range of ports allowed, such as 16570 -17950.
SSO Configuration	Select the SSO configuration to use for this adapter. This field is required if the adapter supports the use of single sign-on tokens.
